Cake stands or pedestals are quite a fun thing to use for entertaining. Not just for cakes--they can give elevation to a table set up and visually be quite effective. Think about using for cheeses, appetizers, finger sandwiches....and of course desserts like cookies, candies, and cakes. Using multiple pedestals can be very attractive and give a tablescape the variation it needs along with regular plates and serving pieces. Even candles can be attractively grouped on these versatile items. There are a variety of glass ones around. The one in the photo is an exceptional one we have at the shop. Sometimes colored glass or ceramic ones can be found. These could be chosen to coordinate with existing serving pieces. Sometimes, depending on the edge of the plate, a larger plate or charger can be placed on top to increase the serving surface. With the entertaining season soon to arrive......think about cake plates and how you might incorporate them!
